Marketing Intelligence for Portsmouth Local Businesses
Portsmouth is the only city in England that sits mostly on an island rather than the mainland, most of it built on Portsea Island, and its position made it one of the Royal Navy's most important home ports for centuries.
Portsmouth's first ever Business Improvement District was approved by a 93% Yes vote, generating £1.6 million over five years from a levy on around 289 city centre organisations. ONS recorded 6,095 VAT and/or PAYE registered businesses in the area.
68.5% of new businesses in Portsmouth were still trading two years on, as of 2022 (ONS). With that much movement in the local business population, marketing intelligence is exactly what helps a business hold its ground.
